  At which Barindex do the instruction Barindex refers in the code :
  The one of the main timeframe of the graph, or the one of the timeframe of the intruction Timeframe just above ?

  In clear, if i have Barindex under the instruction Timeframe (5 minutes, default) and later in the code Barindex under the instruction Timeframe (1 hour, default) ; are those 2 barindex are the same or are their correlated to the timeframe selected just above them with the instruction timeframe ?

  Each time frame has its own count.
  Backtest this code:

  Timeframe(1h,UpdateOnClose) Bar1h = BarIndex Timeframe(5mn,UpdateOnClose) Bar5mn= BarIndex Timeframe (default) buy at -close limit Graph Bar1h Graph Bar5mn

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  Timeframe(1h,UpdateOnClose) Bar1h = BarIndex Timeframe(5mn,UpdateOnClose) Bar5mn= BarIndex Timeframe (default) buy at -close limit Graph Bar1h Graph Bar5mn
